American Fork kicks off popular Concert in the Park series

By Linda Petersen
American Fork has already kicked off its free summer Concert in the Park series with the Red Desert Ramblers on June 12, but there's still plenty of great acts to enjoy.

The concerts are held at the Quail Cove Amphitheater, 851 E. 700 North. In years past, seating has been in the rock amphitheater, but this year for all concerts except the Steel Days American Fork Symphony performance, seating will be in the grassy area on the south side of the stage. Attendees are invited to bring blankets and chairs.

The concerts will begin Mondays at 7 p.m., but starting at 6 p.m. there will be food trucks providing a variety of tasty food. There will also be vendor booths with boutique items for sale.

There will be no concerts on July 3 and July 24. The annual Steel Days American Fork Symphony performance will be held July 10.
